By the way i called directv and they only mentioned two channels (UTV movies and NDTV good times) and I hope that is invalid as I want to see NDTV Profit and that punjabi channel.

I will try calling indian CSR today

Good luck gdeep!

Correct me if I'm wrong. Back in November 2008, DISH Network is currently simplifying their international packaging. Alpha ETC Punjabi is merged with ZEE Punjabi in the UK. Harmandir Sahib programming is still there with a logo blocking PTC.

By our scenario starting vector May 2009. PTC Punjabi will have longer Harmandir Sahib programs on DirecTV's HindiDirect. Over on DISH, Alpha ETC Punjabi and MH One are gone. Zee Punjabi, new channel Just Punjabi TV (NDTV) and JUS Punjabi (New York) are available.

That would be nice but honestly, I don't care about Zee and Sony as much as NDTV Imagine and Colors. It'd be nice if Directv could bring those two to their HindiDirect Packages. Hell, I'd even pay extra for Colors if need be.

I really don't want to see Zee and Sony on direct tv please it not fair to the people like me who has both dish and direct. I really like direct tv because of MTV India. I might get rid of direct tv because they will put zee and sony on it

i have heard this before..yr ago from same "desi"cus service guy who has been telling people that directtv will bring zee and sony but this will never happen as people have told me that directv will not bring any channel similar to star plus as star plus own by same people who own directv....so we will not see any colour,ndtv imagine or sony,zee tv on this channel.....

i have problems with mtv india guide which never match with what is coming on so u cannot record on dvr and i have tried to deal with directv staff but no luck...anybody has other way to resolve this issue?

Directv is no more owned by Newscorp (owners of STAR). it is owned by liberty media now.

MTV India currently here is 10 1/2 hours DELAYED from India's actual broadcast time. DirecTV had a Live broadcast when it debuted. Due to clinches they had delay the broadcast to meet the viewing flexibility.

For example, if MTV India showed a program on Saturday at 7PM IST. The broadcast here will show it Winter time Saturday at 6PM EST and in the Summer time 7PM EDT. When Daylight Savings Time ends, DirecTV doesn't match transmission time.

Currently, the morning programs that start 9:30pm EDT in the DirecTV guide are actually shown the next day at 7am EDT. Meaning the date is exact although delayed hours ago.
